ITT just shut its doors. Ripoffs

None of this matters. Employers couldn't care less where you went to school if you're talking about EET degrees. Some of the best techs I've known were Navy trained and some others had some for profit tech degree. You get good and bad from all of these. I've seen Navy nuke sub guys who couldn't wipe their own asses and I've seen 6 month ACC EET guys run circles around them.

If I was going to go for anything higher than an AS though, I'd avoid the out of these Billy Mays schools.

But honestly, for you folks who work in jobs that don't include punching a time clock or flipping a meat patty... do you know where your management went to school? If you do they either went to some Ivy League school so they tell everyone, or they wear the shirt non-stop. I never had any idea where any of these folks got their degrees. One day I was working with a girl who seemed decent for an entry level engineer, then I find out she's an MIT grad. OK, but she didn't do anything extraordinary because of it. Last I heard she was still a mid level engineer.

Can't speak for any other schools but UH doesn't accept ITT credits and I can't imagine we are out of the ordinary in that regard. Or most any of the for profit guys. Our admissions counsellors least favorite people to handle, even worse than helicopter parents whose kids got denied, are people from these schools who got sold the line about how these places were every bit as good as a community college and their courses are accepted by four year schools.

I seem to recall that UT didn't accept some rather large college's credits either, I cannot recall if it was Incarnate Word or the one in Austin (can't recall the name, East side of 35 where the Cowboys used to practice). This was many years ago. Could have changed.

I just feel sorry for all the folks who don't like their work, or worse, don't like to work.

These types of schools give an opportunity to make something of oneself. Maybe they should have had stricter enrollment and retention standards, but they were great for those who have talent in the fields they offer.

you still defending this piece of place

I know people who graduated from ITT and got a starting job at $18 an hour

[Will Hunting]

is ASU one of these ty colleges too? I have a friend who just started there (online) and keeps bragging about being in school again to everyone

I don't think so but I can't speak for their online program. They're a normal state school, albeit a lot more commercialized than most.

I graduated from UNT and make $33.65 an hour (about $24 after taxes). Good enough

ITT Technical Ins ute will cease all of its academic operations, eliminating most of its 8,000 employees effective today, after the government last month banned the for-profit college chain from enrolling new students who receive federal aid.

“The actions of and sanctions from the U.S. Department of Education have forced us to cease operations,” ITT’s parent company, ITT Educational Services Inc., said. “We reached this decision only after having exhausted the exploration of alternatives, including transfer of the schools to a nonprofit or public ins ution.”

ITT Technical Ins ute is facing accusations from its accreditor of chronic mismanagement of its finances and using questionable recruiting tactics. The parent company is also under investigation by state and federal authorities. ITT, which as of this spring was the fifth-largest for-profit college chain by revenue, says it runs more than 130 campuses in 38 states. It recently had about 43,000 students nationwide.

They used information asymmetry to take advantage of people, and called it "business".

One of the many ways that unrestrained capitalism sucks. "job creators" my ass.

Capitalism is still better than any other way of organizing economies, but you have to have some regulatory checks like this to make sure it doesn't become rapracious.

They market themselves as places for people who sucked at high school. Basically come to ITT Tech where you work with instead of got book learnin' like in those uppity universities that you could never afford anyways. And then of course they're 2-3x more expensive than those universities.

Why waste money on a technology degree when you could major in studies or race relations at Mother of the Molesting Priest university?

ITT is like other online degrees (campuses as well I've noticed), they advertise themselves as something disenfranchised, uneducated "look mom I got out of jail finna see my baby mom and have a real job" types. State colleges and even community colleges are typically for people who decided they could do just as well without a degree and later found out they were wrong. Universities are usually for those who either had parents who are able to afford it or they were groomed for it in school and had parents that gave a . Most of these ITT types are lucky to be free from jail, much less having a job or education. That's why they always show Latinos or some "repressed" culture bragging about how Lupe got a job at Time Warner servicing cable boxes, as he sits there in his Ross ensemble and an o'scope untriggered and not even connected to anything as he pretends he knows what the it does.
